We used to have neighborhood tag, hid-n-seek, capture the flag, kick-the-can and more in our front yard. We played so much that kids didn't even want to go in the house to go to the bathroom and went in the woods. Those were the days!!!

Also had a mom who was a swim instructor for the YMCA and so she would take us down to the lake and swim, skinny dipping too! Especially in cold October but very luke warm lake waters!

Also times fishing and I had a tiny motor boat and motorcycle. My older brother helped us with the motorbike. I struggled to get the engine started on the mini boat, and we had a snowmobile for the snow trails up back of the house.

Forts, snowforts, sledding, leaf houses, rollerskating, climbing trees, bike to town for a .25 cent soda and two candies or icecream, and more!

Much fun! Out of house at dawn, returned at dusk! 😎
